Hello i just want to say Thank you for posting this video ..i have been stressing over kicking higher for so long and always feel bad about myself when i dont and cant . I am soo grateful for your channel as it has helped me a lot in my training .. keep up the great work!

[@topnotchhy3186]

This was good to see. My coach is always telling us to push through with the ground leg hamstring, just as you show. It does make a huge difference.

[@harithefightlover4677]

Bro.....your kick is amazing.....perfection...Sooper..😍😍😍

[@donavantkd]

You’re too kind thank you so much!

[@pawanpaulbardewa7156]

You made it so simple and comprehensible.. Thanks dude. Appreciate it.

[@UnleashedTraining101]

I love your videos. Quality content, plus you have a contagiously flaming personality that is rather uplifting. I feel like I’m learning, while simultaneously improving my mood. I always feel happier after one of these videos.

[@Mobijub]

Thank you Donavan! That really helped.

Hello Young Barrett! One of the best tutorial clips I've listened to in years in regards to the kicking business. Regards, Thanks, and Take Good Care of Yourself.

New to the channel bro this is definitely going to help ive been trying to do the splits thinking it would help but this is awsome advice makes more since keep up the good work bro

[@anastasiavanbrunt2838]

Thank you Donavan! You're right, this is not talked about and taught enough. I can do a pretty high side kick holding onto a wall but cannot get the same height once I let go of the wall. Also I have noticed that my supporting foot starts to hurt after a while. I think this could be part of the problem.... also I would love a video about how to do the Koryo double side kick properly :) Hope you are doing well!

[@BW-zd6nc]

Gorgeous kicks!!!! Wow

[@---103---]

Well done! THX

[@LECityLECLEC]

great vid!

[@desolateones]

It's the ground leg that allows you to balance kick harder etc etc etc I agree too many rely of the kicking leg and neglect the importance on that leg that's the main foundation... Great video

[@JoeAuerbach]

I'm 2 years late on this video but this is exactly the information I needed tonight. In fact, I think next time I'm teaching stretching this is going to be what I tell the kids about. Because some of them are probably not flexible enough to get into this position yet, But it's always good to know why we are doing these stretches.

[@LuisNgchongJrArt]

thanks for info

[@anna0850]

This is so true and important! In teach this in ny flex classes like you're transferring all your strength to the ground leg.

[@duncan3998]

Poledance?

[@karlajaeger-collins9426]

Why am I only seeing this clip now. Thank You, hope your keeping well 🙏

Hey Donavan! I like your courses... Really great stuff. But I have one question about the Sidekick. I see your upper body goes also down, but in my opinion a better looking Sidekick is, when the torso is more upright. Is a this more than genetics gifted or also a case of flexibility?

[@jem6578]

I always thought my kicking leg was just not flexible enough, even though I have pretty good flexibility. Thank you so much for this video, I appreciate it a lot. I also wanted to say how much I admire your passion for martial arts, your whole aura just says it all like fr

[@ninjasquid9642]

Thanks don,i mentioned this before but could you do a tutorial on the around the world kick?

[@donavantkd]

Hello! I have lots of tutorials coming and I'm sure I will make a tutorial on that one as well. If you don't want to wait...it's one of the kicks I cover in my Master Kicks course which is only $25! Thank you so much for being here and supporting!

I always feel like my outer hip is too tight. I can touch my toes and am fairly flexible but I struggle to get above waist height, even with ground leg turned.

[@SomeGuy-cv3pf]

I have the exact same problem

[@z3r0c00l2]

I am trying to get that flexibility.... But no luck ... I guess I must practice months.... I am doing karate but my kicks are not good (the high kicks only) . My body on that area of kicking is very stiff.

[@saibrahmam5511]

Bro, do you recommend stretching every day ... I mean stretching while having sore muscles ?? Please explain briefly 🙏

[@donavantkd]

Your body is a better teacher than anyone else will ever be. If you feel lots of pain one day...take a breather. If you're feeling a little sore, do just a few light stretches in the areas that feel sore to relieve some of the tension. Work up to stretching every day...but you may start with three or four times a week until your muscles are used to that kind of training :)

[@miriuramedevielle9102]

You have been flexible since you started or come up with workouts ?

So is it okay to hold on to a chair while practicing or no btw Donavan I love you and your videos

Yes it’s totally ok! You just need to always be conscious of where your ground leg is. Use a mirror if you can or film yourself
